Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the order of the Sub-Divisional Magistrate under Section 133 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898, which directed the appellant to demolish an oven and chimney deemed a nuisance. The Court found that the evidence presented did not support the appellant's claim that the oven was not enlarged in 1969, and thus the High Court's affirmation of the Magistrate's order was justified. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the lower court's ruling against the appellant's continued operation as a baker at the site.
